IEEE-USA Awards Program Announcement

The IEEE-USA Awards Committee is pleased to announce that its 2013 Awards Banquet and Ceremony will be held Saturday evening, August 3, at the IEEE-USA Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon.

IEEE-USA presents Awards and Recognitions to recognize excellence, outstanding service and contributions in furtherance of its objectives.

Harold S. Goldberg, P.E., the first chair of what is now IEEE-USA, will receive the organization’s highest honor, the Robert S. Walleigh Distinguished Contributions to Engineering Professionalism Award. The Walleigh Award is designed “to honor members of the engineering profession for long-term dedicated effort and outstanding accomplishments in advancing the aims of IEEE professional activities in the United States.” Goldberg is receiving the award “for long-term leadership in the transformation of IEEE-USA and professional activities.” Goldberg chaired the IEEE United States Activities Committee when it was formed in 1973. It became the IEEE United States Activities Board a year later and emerged as IEEE-USA in 1998.

Goldberg is one of 19 individuals and one company IEEE-USA will recognize for their professionalism and technical achievements. A description of the Awards and past winners can be found on the IEEE-USA website: http://www.ieeeusa.org/volunteers/awards/index.html.
